You’ve probably heard that there are certain sex positions that help you conceive easily.

Despite this, there are many women out there who claim that there are some sex positions that not only enable you to conceive, but also have a baby of the gender you want!!

If you’re looking to get pregnant sometime soon, try out some of these sex positions and have fun while you do.

1. Missionary

Considered to be a really good position for conception, with you lying on your back and your vagina tilted downward in the direction of the cervix. This enables the sperm to pass through the cervix and enter the uterus. To get a better tilt of the vagina, you can place a pillow below your pelvis. This will help receive the semen better. This position also has the advantage of helping partners get intimate with each other and ensures better and deep penetration near the cervix.

2. The woman on top

If you want to be in control, this is a really good position.

3. Rear entry

Yet again a position that permits deep penetration. Here, your partner enters you from behind with you kneeling, lying next to him or on your stomach. This sex position has good potential to get you pregnant since the penis reaches all the way to the back of the cervix, allowing the sperm to ejaculate near the cervix.

6. Not standing up

Don’t have sex while standing because obviously you want the sperm to go upstream. Of course, this position can’t stop you from getting pregnant, surely you want the sperm to work in tandem with gravity.

7. Spooning before sex

Cosying up to your partner and sleeping together like two spoons together can be a forerunner to great sex and better chances of conception.
